Help!!! How to fault-find lost GIMP installation - david - 04-09-2023 Ubuntu 20.04 GIMP 2.10.34-1build6-ubuntu2004(focal) Today when I came to use GIMP it did not load. It is the version originally obtained from the PandaJim PPA and I had python 2.7 support which meant all my usual plug-ins worked. I tried to start it from the terminal and got: gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libmypaint-1.5.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I searched in Synaptic for libmypaint-1.5.so.1, but no such file was found. Any advice will be gratefully received as to how to fault-find this problem. RE: Help!!! How to fault-find lost GIMP installation - Ofnuts - 04-09-2023 Is there such a lib/package on the PPA? RE: Help!!! How to fault-find lost GIMP installation - PixLab - 04-10-2023 You need to install MyPaint Code: sudo apt install mypaint this happened to me some time ago, after installing mypaint > GIMP worked just fine RE: Help!!!

I can not find the offending package that removed libmypaint, nothing obvious in the log - Gimp already the latest, so not that - a mystery The package is in the PandaJim PPA this in my synaptic [attachment=9683] ----- Another look in the apt log and it shows this: Start-Date: 2023-04-07 10:42:51 Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-remove-packages' sender=':1.65' Remove: libxmlb1:amd64 (0.1.15-2ubuntu1~20.04.1), libmypaint-1.5-1:amd64 (1.5.1-1), libmypaint-common:amd64 (1.5.1-1) End-Date: 2023-04-07 10:42:52 RE: Help!!!

If I recall correctly it happened after "updating" Ubuntu via the software updater. (but I won't swear about it) RE: Help!!! How to fault-find lost GIMP installation - david - 04-10-2023 Many thanks to everyone. I installed mypaint and instantly everything working! Without this forum many people would have great problems. |
